Yeah, Joe Rogan describes himself as a liberal. He has guests who he thinks will be interesting, not who he agrees with. I understand the idea of wanting to know what makes those people tick.
There is still a great point to be made that he's giving awful people a large platform to spew hateful or wrong messages to millions of people, and while Rogan often plays devil's advocate, he doesn't do much to delegitimize people who don't deserve to be taken seriously.
Ultimately, I think that Rogan does more harm than good because he allows hateful and stupid people to influence his audience.
